A review of factors that influence individual compliance with mass drug administration for elimination of lymphatic filariasis. [PDF]

, 2013
BACKGROUND: The success of programs to eliminate lymphatic filariasis (LF) depends in large part on their ability to achieve and sustain high levels of compliance with mass drug administration (MDA). This paper reports results from a comprehensive review

A Role for All-Trans-Retinoic Acid in the Early Steps of Lymphatic Vasculature Development [PDF]

, 2010
The molecular mechanisms that regulate the earliest steps of lymphatic vascular system development are unknown. To identify regulators of lymphatic competence and commitment, we used an in vitro vascular assay with mouse embryonic stem cell-derived ...

Glymphatic System: a New Research Direction for the Pathogenesis of Brain Diseases [PDF]

Zhongguo quanke yixue, 2022
The glymphatic system is mainly mediated by aquaporin 4 on astrocytes and relies on the exchange and flow of cerebrospinal fluid and brain tissue fluid in the vascular space around arteries and veins.

Lymphatics in Lung Disease [PDF]

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2008
The lymphatic circulation appears to be a vital component in lung biology in health and in disease. Animal models have established the role of the lymphatic circulation in neoplastic and inflammatory diseases of the lung, such as asthma and cancer, and allowed for the understanding of the molecular controls of lymphangiogenesis in normal lung ...

Modelling the health impact and cost-effectiveness of lymphatic filariasis eradication under varying levels of mass drug administration scale-up and geographic coverage [PDF]

, 2016
Background: A global programme to eliminate lymphatic filariasis (GPELF) is underway, yet two key programmatic features are currently still lacking: (1) the extension of efforts to all lymphatic filariasis (LF) endemic countries, and (2) the expansion of

The value of cytologic diagnostics in fast intraoperative diagnosis of mediastinal lymphadenopathy and pulmonary and mediastinal tumors [PDF]

Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2002
Extemporary (EXT) analysis is unavoidable in establishing the tumor diagnosis, operability and the extent of the operation. Alternative approach is cytologic analysis which, because of its simple methodology, provides results even faster.

Immunopathogenesis of lymphatic filarial disease [PDF]

Seminars in Immunopathology, 2012
Although two thirds of the 120 million people infected with lymph-dwelling filarial parasites have subclinical infections, ~40 million have lymphedema and/or other pathologic manifestations including hydroceles (and other forms of urogenital disease), episodic adenolymphangitis, tropical pulmonary eosinophilia, lymphedema, and (in its most severe form)

Tumor-induced myeloid cell plasticity toward lymphatic endothelium [PDF]

, 2009
Tumor-associated lymphangiogenesis contributes to tumor progression by regulating interstitial fluid pressure, transporting immune cells to the tumor site and providing a route for metastatic dissemination.

Lymphatic vessels in health and disease [PDF]

WIREs Systems Biology and Medicine, 2012
Abstract The lymphatic vasculature plays vital roles in tissue fluid balance, immune defense, metabolism, and cancer metastasis. In adults, lymphatic vessel formation and remodeling occur primarily during inflammation, development of the corpus luteum, wound healing, and tumor growth. Unlike the blood circulation,

Socio-cultural aspects of lymphatic filariasis and the role of communities in its control in Ghana [PDF]

, 2000
Lymphatic Filariasis (LF) is one of the worlds most debilitating and disfiguring tropical diseases. The World Health Organization estimates that there are about one billion people at risk in about 80 countries worldwide.
